Dyne High Calorie Liquid Dietary Supplement

[Joeyman]

Joey, I read 1oz per 20lb 3x a day, 32oz is $16.95. Just glanced at it, did I read that right? If you do the math, you go thru a bottle in about 2 days with 5 dogs. After 25 years with the same company I have been "outsourced". So with lots of extra time on my hands I've ran them HARD this year and I feed Diamond Naturals chicken and rice mixed 50/50 with Diamond Naturals Extreme Athlete and it has worked very well. I will say this tho, the one female I think I could feed her potatoes and she would b ready to go every day, all day. Joey, I know you run em hard this time of year, Take that $16.95 and put it towards some better feed. Even tho I take real good care of my hounds I still will say "you can't feed a dog desire" hounds that have "it" can and will perform daily. Just my 2cents.

IDK but the guy that uses it and told me about the stuff said to give a tablespoon over the kibble the day before you hunt them. thats how i was going to go about it. i bought the 32oz bottle as a test run to see what it does. they sell it by the gallon but its dang near $50

Feeding raw and kibble at same time is a waste. Most experts
On feeding raw recommend fasting after feeding kibble to clean digestive track before starting on raw. God made dogs to eat raw meat why feed anything else.

I catch grief from a lot of people around home by feeding the way I do but those people dont know crap about the diet of a working hound. Best way i've kept energy on my dogs is a Raw Diet. All 18 of them. Have for a good 4,5 years now. Mostly hamburg and beef fat scraps from the local market. I try to feed some kind of bone one day a week to keep their teeth good and clean. Ole Rip's coming 13 yrs old and he's still a picture of health and breeding females on a raw diet. Look at the sled dogs and what those breeders and trainers feed their dogs that race thousands of miles! And in no way, shape or form do I keep my dogs the least bit heavy. I always like seeing at least the last 3 ribs or so. I've run a few marathons in my day and never once do I recall seeing a 300 pound far person running beside me or even in the race. Just my thoughts for what it's worth.

Joeyman, I just looked up the Dyne product and unless I overlooked something it is a joke! a bad joke, It's main claim to fame is calories and the resulting energy from them as the dog " burns" them. The vitamins and such in them are found in just about any dry dog food. Back to their claim to fame calories. 150 per ounce. Big deal, Olive oil derives all of it's calories from fats, ( fatty acids are good for a dogs skin) and olive oil contains 240 calories per ounce, Dyne supplement is not in the same league as cheap olive oil in supplying calories ( and energy) . Plain old olive oil is much better and a heck of a lot cheaper! If I am overlooking something here someone point it out to me! But let us not get away from the fact that your dog needs protein to rebuild his muscle cells, Meat works wonders for this, try it for awhile your dogs will like it. If you do not provide the necessary amount of protein in a source that your dog can use he will get torn down and stay there, as the cells cannot rebuild, lameness will occur in the hard hunted hound, you will see this most often beginning with the front shoulders as they take the greatest pounding! Your dog food may list a good amount of protein but is it usable to the dog, a lot of it isn't.

I have used the dyne on a dog that was under the weather and wouldnt eat his feed. I poured it on top of the feed and he started eating again. I have never tried it on a healthy dog to keep them strong during hunting season. From the middle of January til the last day of February every year I run the 3 and 4 days a week, sometimes 6 to 8 hours at a time. Many times we will hunt 3 or 4 days in a row with the same 6 pack of hounds. That is when I start supplementing with raw chicken leg quarters. You would be amazed how a hound will muscle up and look running that often and feeding raw meat and bones. Also feed any old meat I have from last year in the freezer. Thing that amazed me the most if you feed some raw meat is that their is usually little or no stools to clean up. Kibble makes 4 or 5 times the amount of stool as raw does. I only do this the last 6 or 7 weeks of season when they are running day after day. I dont have enough available meat sources to do it year round but when I see leg quarters go on sale at the local meat market, I stock up and freeze them to save for hunting season.

Have you also noticed there's little to no smell to it also? It's smaller and turns white under their kennels really quick? I recon that's because they use much more of what they eat.

I guess at this point most realize that I consider olive oil to be the best supplement out there, I have used it for years when needed. In my opinion you can't beat it. Dyne, Nupro, nutria-cal. I don't believe any of them are in the same class as olive oil as a high calorie supplement, someone has done a good job of Bullchitting us about these products! Try some Olive -oil if you need a supplement. Save yourself some money in the process! and oh, yea, look it up for yourself.

All the research I did before I started feeding RAW diet 3 years ago would support what Lebro is saying. Raw meat and kibble are digested very differently. What lacks in kibble is "digestable protein"...premium kibble contains about 30% protein but if dog only digests 25% of that, they are only getting about 8% protein in their diet. Not a believer in these quick fix supplements. If I thought my dogs were lacking enough nutrition to sustain I would upgrade their food for a more balanced approach.

If I was going for a long run tomorrow a healthy supper would not benefit me nearly as much as a long term healthy diet.

Keep us posted on the results if there is a noticeable difference or not.

I understand Raw meat, and kibble are digested differently, What I don't know is what difference it makes.
